PROTESTS. 

Rates  of  duty  are  frequently  exacted  by  Collectors  In  liquida- 
tions of  entries  on  duty  of  merchandise,  which  the  owners  or 
importers  of  the  merchandise  consider  erroneous.  We  make  a 
specialty  of  these  cases,  and  if  there  appears  to  be  a  good  claim 
we  carry  the  matter  before  the  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  and 
if  necessary  appeal  to  the  Courts.  We  make  no  charge  unless 
successful  in  obtaining  a  refund  of  excessive  duties. 

ADVANCED  VALUES. 

Invoice  values  are  advanced  by  the  Appraiser  when  they  are 
below  wholesale  market  price  at  the  time  of  shipment.  Import- 
ers may  appeal  to  a  General  Appraiser,  and  if  dissatisfied  with 
his  decision,  to  a  board  of  three  General  Appraisers.  We  rep- 
resent the  importer  in  such  cases,  and  present  his  claims. 

DUTIES. 

By  communicating  with  us  in  advance,  importers  can  arrange 
for  the  payment  of  duties  at  any  of  the  ports  of  entry  in  the 
United  States  or  in  the  Dominion  of  Canada. 

Nhen  goods  are  consigned  to  us  for  importers  located  at  places 
which  are  not  ports  of  entry,  duty  will  be  paid  by  us  at  port  of 
arrival  and  charged  forward  against  the  goods. 

Goods  may  be  warehoused  or  forwarded  in  bond,  without  pay- 
ment of  duties,  either  to  Interior  port  or  export  port. 

Goods  warehoused  in  United  States  must  aave  duty  paid  or 
exported  within  three  years  from  date  of  arrival.  Either  the 
whole  shipment  or  any  number  of  packages,  but  nothing  less 
than  a  package  can  be  withdrawn  at  one  time. 

FORWARDING. 

We  receive  and  deliver  according  to  Instructions  goods  for 
Import  or  Export,  but  we  never  purchase  for  our  own  account 
or  receive  on  consignment  for  sale. 


(Note. — Accuracy  and  precision  in  customs  proceedings  are  so 
essential  to  the  interests  of  importers  that  the  services  of  a  com- 
petent broker  are  usually  worth  vastly  more  than  the  small  cost 
of  such  services.)

SPECIAL    RATES 

FOR 

HEAVY  SHIPMENTS 

To  or  from  Europe  and  other  Foreign  Countries 

Will  be  quoted  by  this  Company  on  receipt  of  the  infor- 
mation designated  below: 

I.  Number  of  pieces.  2,  Kind  of  goods.  3.  Total  number  of 
cubic  feet,  exactly  or  approximately.  4.  Total  weight,  exactly  or  ap- 
proximately. 5-  Whether  by  fast  or  slow  steamer.  6.  Destination  of 
shipment.  7.  Date  goods  are  to  be  shipped.  8.  Amount  of  Marine 
Insurance,  if  wanted.  9.  Whether  charges  are  to  be  prepaid  or

CUBIC  MEASUREMENT.  To  ascertain  the  exact  cubical 
measurement  of  an  article,  multiply  the  leng'th  by  the  width  and  the 
product  thus  obtained  by  the  height,  reducing  such  measurement  to 
inches.  Example  :  A  box  2  feet  4  inches  long,  3  feet  8  inches  wide 
and  I  foot  7  inches  high  (reduced  to  inches)  is  figured  as  follows:  2^  4-^^ 
or  28^^  multiplied  by  y  h^^  or  44^''  is  1,232  inches,  multiplied  again 
by  1/  7//  or  19''''  gives  23,408  cubic  inches,  which  when  divided  by 
the  number  of  cubic  inches  in  1  cubic  foot,  or  1,728,  gives  13,944 — 
1,738  cubic  feet.     Charge  for  14  cubic  feet. 

In  ascertaming  cubical  measurement  of  boxes,  etc.,  of  irregular 
shapes,  or  those  having  projecting  parts,  it  is  the  rule  of  the  Steamship 
Companies  to  exact  measurements  of  the  largest  side.  When  measure- 
ments, as  made  by  shippers  or  agents,  do  not  agree  with  those  made  by 
Steamship  Companies,  the  latter  will  prevail. 

THROUGH  NEGOTIABLE  BILLS  OF  LADING  for  bank- 
ing purposes  are  issued  by  us  for  HEAVY  GOODS  to  all  foreign 
places,  with  or  without  Marine  Insurance.

application.

houses, etc.,  in  any  quantity  and  on  every  class  of  merchandise  at  the

Actual  market  value  or  wholesale  price  of  such  merchandise  at 
the  tim»  of  exportation  to  the  United  States,  in  the  principal 
markets  of  the  country  from  which  the  same  has  been  im- 
ported; but  no  such  addition  shall  be  made  upon  entry  to  the 
invoice  value  of  any  imported  merchandise  obtained  otherwise 
than  by  actual  purchase;  and  the  collector  within  whose  dis- 
trict any  merchandise  may  be  imported  or  entered,  whether  the 
same  has  been  actually  purchased  or  procured  otherwise  than 
by  purchase,  shall  cause  the  actual  market  value  or  wholesale 
price  of  such  merchandise  to  be  appraised;  and  if  the  appraised 
value  of  any  article  of  imported  merchandise  subject  to  an  ad 
valorem  duty  or  to  a  duty  based  upon  or  regulated  in  any  man- 
ner by  the  value  thereof  shall  exceed  the  value  declared  in  the 
entry,  there  shall  be  levied,  collected,  and  paid,  in  addition  to 
the  duties  imposed  by  law  on  such  mercnandise,  an  additional 
duty  of  one  per  centum  of  the  total  appraised  value  thereof  for 
each  one  per  centum  that  such  appraised  value  exceeds  the 
value  declared  in  the  entry,  but  the  additional  duties  shall  only 
apply  to  the  particular  article  or  articles  in  each  invoice  that 
are  so  undervalued,  and  shall  be  limited  to  fifty  per  centum  of 
the  appraised  value  of  such  article  or  articles.  Such  additional 
duties  shall  not  be  construed  to  be  penal,  and  shall  not  be  re- 
mitted, nor  payment  thereof  in  any  way  avoided,  except  in 
caser  arising  from  a  manifest  clerical  error,  nor  shall  they  be 
refunded  in  case  of  exportat!  n  of  the  merchandise,  or  on  any 
other  account,  nor  shall  they  be  subject  to  the  benefit  of  draw- 
back: Provided,  That  if  the  appraised  value  of  any  merchan- 
dise shall  exceed  the  value  declared  in  the  entry  by  more  than 
fifty  per  centum,  except  when  arising  from  a  manifest  clerical 
error,  such  entry  shall  be  held  to  be  presumptively  fraudulent, 
and  the  collector  of  customs  shall  seize  such  merchandise  and 
proceed  as  in  case  of  forfeiture  for  violation  of  the  customs 
laws,  and  in  any  legal  proceeding  that  may  result  from  such 
seizure,  the  undervaluation  as  shown  by  the  appraisal  shall  be 
presumptive  evidence  of  fraud,  and  the  burden  of  proof  shall 
be  on  the  claimant  to  rebut  the  same  and  forfeiture  shall  be 
adjudged  unless  he  shall  rebut  such  presumption  of  fraudulent 
intent  by  sufficient  evidence.  The  forfeiture  provided  for  in 
this  section  shall  apply  to  the  whole  of  the  merchandise  or  the 
value  thereof  in  the  case  or  package  containing  the  particular 
article  or  articles  in  each  invoice  which  are  undervalued: 
Provided  further.  That  all  additional  duties,  penalties  or  for- 
feitures applicable  to  merchandise  entered  by  a  duly  certified 
invoice,  shall  t>e  alike  applicable  to  merchandise  entered  by  a 
pro  forma  invoice  or  statement  in  the  form  of  €in  invoice,  and 
no  forfeiture  or  disability  of  any  kind,  incurred  under  the  pro- 
visions of  this  section  shall  be  remitted  or  mitigated  by  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury.  The  duty  shall  not,  however,  be  as- 
sessed in  any  case  upon  an  amount  less  than  the  invoice  or  en- 
tered value. 

Sec.  11.  That,  when  the  actual  market  value  as  defined  by 
law,  of  any  article  of  imported  merchandise,  wholly  or  partly
